CfnDataset

Creates an empty dataset and adds it to the specified dataset group. Use [CreateDatasetImportJob](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/personalize/latest/dg/API_CreateDatasetImportJob.html) to import your training data to a dataset. There are 5 types of datasets: - Item interactions - Items - Users - Action interactions (you can't use CloudFormation to create an Action interactions dataset) - Actions (you can't use CloudFormation to create an Actions dataset) Each dataset type has an associated schema with required field types. Only the `Item interactions` dataset is required in order to train a model (also referred to as creating a solution). A dataset can be in one of the following states: - CREATE PENDING > CREATE IN_PROGRESS > ACTIVE -or- CREATE FAILED - DELETE PENDING > DELETE IN_PROGRESS To get the status of the dataset, call [DescribeDataset](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/personalize/latest/dg/API_DescribeDataset.html) . **Related APIs** - [CreateDatasetGroup](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/personalize/latest/dg/API_CreateDatasetGroup.html) - [ListDatasets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/personalize/latest/dg/API_ListDatasets.html) - [DescribeDataset](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/personalize/latest/dg/API_DescribeDataset.html) - [DeleteDataset](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/personalize/latest/dg/API_DeleteDataset.html)
